As a Senior Lifestyle editor at BuzzFeed, I cover stories about health, home, and relationships, with a special focus on work and money. I have covered personal finance topics in the past for The Balance, iGrad, The Smart Wallet, and more. I live in Brooklyn, New York, with my partner and two cats. When I'm not working, I love lifting weights, watching classic movies, updating my GoodReads account, and playing the guitar. I'm also a young breast cancer survivor who will absolutely yell at you if you don't do your monthly self-check!
